Help evaluating this car...69 DART

ad states he has a 400 for cheap, buy the whole package, build the 400 ($4,000) and burn tires till your bored with it. Resale is going to be way easier with a mopar engine in it. IF you put a chevy in it your going to find it almost impossible to get rid of later and have to give it away. So your options are spend money now to have a killer car (mopar engine) or build it the way you described and lose money later. Math can be tough sometimes, what to do, What to do?

im probably in the minority here, but if you're not putting a small block mopar in there, i'd rather see the LS then the modern "hemi"
if you're going with something that doesnt belong (and the modern "hemi" does NOT belong in a classic mopar) you might as well go with the most popular (across the board) engine, especially, if it is one that makes the most power the cheapest

in fact, i dont mind what you do, as long as you dont cobble it together (and since the OP is planning on racing it, i am going to assume he is planning on making it past tech inspection) and dont put in a farm engine
